13 THE SECOND HAND GRIP

The Second Hand Grip is an optional accessory which can enhance
the use of the instrument.
The grip is fitted between the high voltage probe handle and the probe
accessory and enables the high voltage probe handle to be held by
both hands, rather than just one:
Allows the user to hold heavy probe accessories or long

extension rods with greater ease and for longer periods of time.
Highly insulated - does not affect the safe use of the instrument.

Serves as a 0.5m extension rod.

14 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

14.1 CONDUCTIVE COATINGS
If the displayed voltage drops sharply when the probe is applied to the
test surface or the alarm sounds continuously, then the coating may be
conductive. The usual occurrences of conductive coatings are
described in the following.
Existence of metallic, carbon or other conducting particles in

the coating: During normal use, the particles in this type of
coating are not linked. However, when the coating is subjected to
high voltages the material between the particles can break down.
This results in the coating becoming conductive and the detector
indicating the presence of a flaw.
